Hi, guys and gals.

I am creating a web page at wiseplays.com. Looks good at
home on Frontpage, in 'normal' view, in 'preview' and when
you view it using the browser. But when I upload it, it
seems to get off 'kilter' as in (moves to the left).
Well, I figured that part out messing around with my
DISPLAY SETTINGS in CONTROL PANEL. Well, not everyone has
the same settings for their display, so it will look
differently from computer to computer. Is there something
I missed? Is there a setting in FRONTPAGE that makes up
for the different settings?

No, there is no setting to control this. Are you using tables to structure
your page layout?

Nope, although a friend of mine here at work insists that
I should use tables. She says that things stay 'fixed' if
you do that.

I also found another string that mentioned the following:

Build your pages in either
Fixed tables <760 px wide (for 800x600 screens minimum)
Or percent Width tables

I'll try to find that in FRONTPAGE. (ok, new at this!)

What the above is telling you is to use the Table menu
and Insert a table into which you would place your
content (text and graphics). If you further select Table
properties, you can set the table to be displayed based
on percentage of the screen or at a fixed witdth of
something less than 760 pixels.

I would suggest you play around with both fixed width and
percent settings and view the results with your computer
set to various screen resolutions. This will be a great
learning exercise for you.
